Interpret Durban 8 - open call to artists
This event has become the undisputed grand slam of youth-driven creative competitions in the city and culminates in a night of proudly Durban goodness where the entries are exhibited in a giant exhibition, the winners announced and one heck of a party is had.
Theme: City of Change: Converge, Collaborate, Coexist
We are asking you to tackle the issues that we face in Durban and find a creative way in expressing and motivating for change. We are looking for a creative public service announcement that can rally the masses.

Youth Categories: co –created by Interpret Durban and Durban Youth Council
Visual Arts – ‘Ubuntu’ is the ancient, African philosophy that we are only human through the humanity of others. We want you to encapsulate the spirit of Ubuntu in Durban in the 21st century.
Mobile Photography – As ‘born-frees’, we find ourselves in a very divided South Africa. We’re asking you to focus on the small things that bring us together and/or tear us apart in our daily lives.
Durban Answers design Comp – Durban Answers is a citizen-centered platform for accessing information about how to live, work, play, and be in the city. This competition is sponsored by Open Data Durban.
